Stylos is the blog of Jeff Riddle, a Reformed Baptist Pastor in North Garden, Virginia. The title "Stylos" is the Greek word for pillar. In 1 Timothy 3:15 Paul urges his readers to consider "how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar (stylos) and ground of the truth."

Video of the Week: How to be a Biblical Scholar
I got this link from someone on the RB list. Pretty funny...and true.
First, I am thankful for your blog as I am edified greatly by it. Second, have you had a chance to view the video clip Justin Taylor posted on his blog showing the ESV Translation Oversight Committee discussing a revision of the translation of "doulos" in the new ESV update? If you did, I would be interested to hear your thoughts about the process and the lines of argumentation taken by those involved.
Thanks for your encouragement. Glad to hear of someone out there profiting from the blog. I did see the post you mentioned on JT's blog but have not yet watched the video. I'll try to watch it and consider a post with some analysis. Thanks for the idea.
Brother,
